Economic/digital warfare(and greedy traitors/financiers) is/are the "doomsday weapon" many warned us about...not missiles from norks/other foreign terrorists.
James Bond : Oh, so why do you need me?
Q : Every now and then a trigger has to be pulled
...to protect freedom for us(serfs)...or financial interests for them(globalist oligarchs)?
Look around...not a lot of "freedom" being protected right now...among the serf-class anyway.
Besides...YOUR(FED)gov. law enforcement agencies are on record as saying, America's biggest threat comes from... "white supremacists"...so guess we need to spend a trillion dollars annually to protect America from...a handful of "domestic" penniless, toothless, powerless, "racists" with third-grade educations?
HEADLINE: "Biden mocked gun-rights advocates who say they need assault weapons to fight the government" 'You need F-15s and maybe some nuclear weapons'...
...yes, HE/THEY are "series".
The should make a new version of the plane. The air frames on the current stock are getting old.
A-10 is awesome, but maybe its time is up too. The company that built it is long gone, along with all the tooling. Maintenance must be a nightmare. Maybe it's time for a clean sheet attack aircraft? I bet we can do it.
Stop trying to give it to the Army, the AF would never allow it. It was decided long ago that AF does fixed-wing, Army does rotorcraft. It's a turf issue the AF won't give up.
They train in the area of wilderness over our hunting camp.
I was several miles back in, alone, sitting in the outhouse with the door open when an A-10 went over at tree top level.
It was an experience.... I do not care to repeat.
I thought the Kenyan already tried this.
Both the A-10 and F-35 have been tested during wartime and proven themselves to be excellent at their primary missions, reliably delivering payloads onto targets.
The biggest difference between the two is that the F-35’s payload is taxpayer dollars and its target is defense contractors and lobbyists.
Who wants to retire the hog? The pilots or some cross dressing faggoty ass obama promoted knob gobbling general?
If you’ve ever been a grunt on the ground, you love the Warthog!
The Air Force has always hated the Warthog. 1. Because its effective. 2. Compared to their other boondoggles its cheap and can take a serious beating. 3. None of the generals are making any real money off of it.
Rubio doesn’t know what he is talking about.
The JSF doesn’t have the loiter time, weapons load nor flexibility of the A-10.
And the A-10 is a proven combat aircraft whereas the JSF is nowhere near ready.
A-10 designed for ops in uncontested airspace? Wait, what?
What do you think Cold War airspace would have been if we faced the Soviets? Dense and hostile and heavily contested, that’s what...
Rubio is a putz.
Gawd.
The USAF did not ask to retire the A-10. It asked to reduce its numbers. This headline is a lie.
The best close support aircraft since the Skyraider and the high and fast idiots want to get rid of it.
